Prince Betelgeuze, Princess Algieba and Princess Bellatrix
Travel Around the Baltic Sea


A performance project from 1997, in co-operation with Jaan Pärnamäe (EST) and Elin T. Sørensen (NO).
The project consists of performance, its documentation in different ways (photo, text, 8 mm film, music...) and of publishing the documentation for example in books and in the form of installations.
We visit different places around the Baltic Sea. In the performances, that often last for several days, we live as fairy-tale Princesses and a fairy-tale Prince. For people who happen to see us, we hope to create moments of recalling dreams of something Else.
As the Princess in me expresses the longing for the Other, I am also seeking the other coast of the Baltic Sea, my home sea. Longing for the Other in me, is like longing for the other coast of the sea, on the shore of which I live.
